Hawke's Bay will be the home of horsepower and hot looks over Labour Weekend as 170 sparkling Ford Mustangs gather for the 39th annual convention.
The event is being staged by the Manawatū Mustang Owners Club, which takes in the Hawke's Bay region.
"It is going to be great," Hastings-based club committee member Tom Parkinson said.
He is one of about eight local owners of the classic American cars, and said almost every model produced from 1964 to 2018 would be represented.
"There will be some pretty special cars here," he said.
